Nanocarb™ Activated Carbon Filtration

Esco's Nanocarb™ activated carbon filters are constructed in order to ensure maximum filter efficiency, retention capacity and operator protection. Esco's research scientists and engineers, working in consultation with world-leading authorities on adsorption science, have developed the following set of unique technologies:

Optimized retention capacity (i.e. the total weight of chemicals the filter can retain, usually as a percentage of its own weight) considering that activated carbon may have an increased adsorption capacity by weight, yet poorer overall filtration performance for the actual application. By considering the Isotherms of various activated carbon materials, Esco scientists have selected the optimum grade(s) of raw materials in order to achieve the best balance of all performance factors.

Formaldehyde applications or when aldehydes are present. Hospital pathology and endoscopy applications.

G

Ammonia/Amines Filter

High performance removal of ammonia/amines by chemisorption.

H

Ethers and Chloroform

Special impregnated carbon for ethers and chloroform.

Optional HEPA Filter

HEPA filter with a typical efficiency of 99.99% removes particulates and aerosols. Ductless fume hoods with HEPA filters are suitable for cleanroom applications, or may be used as a Class I Biological Safety Cabinet.

Optional Secondary Backup Carbon Filter

When installed, hood complies with the requirements of ANSI/AIHA Z9.5-2003.
